BANKING & FINANCE ASSOCIATE SOLICITOR, 1 PQE +

City of London

From £88,000 to £105k+

* A practice that offers many of the advantages you expect from a US firm, along with many that you might not ordinarily expect, in terms of culture, work-life balance and opportunities for progression

* A unique combination of high quality work, covering an unusually broad spectrum of borrower, sponsor and lender transactions

It is rare for a firm to attract the best talent in the legal market on account of both the exception quality of its client base and the work it undertakes AND its appealing working environment and culture.

For Magic and Silver Circle calibre lawyers wishing to retain the benefits of a leading UK firm whilst profiting from the upsides of joining an elite US practice, this is a stand-out prospect.

The firm’s banking and finance practice has an enviable standing in the US, the UK and on a global level. Its established borrower, lender and sponsor client base is very impressive, and the diversity and quality of instructions have earned the team’s partners and associates a reputation for handling the most challenging of mandates.

If you are an ambitious and intelligent lawyer who enjoys rising to a challenge, as part of this team you can look forward to taking on a high level of responsibility for wide-ranging, complex, multi-jurisdictional and high value work. You can avoid being pigeon-holed by virtue of your continual exposure to a particular line of work, and instead handle all manner of structured finance, acquisition finance, leveraged finance, asset finance, restructuring and general banking transactions.

The firm’s financial performance continues to be very strong, and this has enabled the partnership to recruit some particularly eye-catching laterals in recent years. Partners and associates alike have also been drawn to the nature of the practice on a cultural level. The firm has fostered an environment with very open lines of communication, a relaxed attitude with mutual respect between partners and associates and a sensible approach to work-life balance. There have always been genuine opportunities for progression, and the partnership has been praised for the ways they have weathered recessions without wielding the axe.

If you are anxious to make sure this career move is “right” on all levels, there is a very good chance this could tick each box both for the immediate and long term.
